## Description

An IBusConfig provides engine configuration methods such as get and set the configure settings to configuration file.

Currently, IBusConfig supports gconf.

## Details

### struct IBusConfig

    struct IBusConfig;

An opaque data type representing an IBusConfig.

### struct IBusConfigClass

    struct IBusConfigClass {
    };

### ibus_config_get_value ()

    GVariant *          ibus_config_get_value               (IBusConfig *config,
                                                             const gchar *section,
                                                             const gchar *name);

Get the value of a configuration option synchronously.

GConf stores configure options in a tree-like structure, and the IBus related setting is at /desktop/ibus, thus, `section` here is a path from there, while `name` is the key of that configuration option.

ibus-chewing, for example, stores its setting in /desktop/ibus/engine/Chewing, so the section name for it is "engine/Chewing". See also: `ibus_config_set_value()`.

Returns : | A GVariant or `NULL`. Free with `g_variant_unref()`.

Remove an entry of a configuration option. See also: `ibus_config_get_value()`.

`config` : | An IBusConfig
`section` : | Section name of the configuration option.
`name` : | Name of the configure option its self.
Returns : | `TRUE` if succeed; `FALSE` otherwise.

### ibus_config_unwatch ()

    gboolean            ibus_config_unwatch                 (IBusConfig *config,
                                                             const gchar *section,

Unsubscribe from the configuration option change notification.

See also: ibus_config_watch.

`config` : | An IBusConfig
`section` : | Section name of the configuration option. [allow-none]
`name` : | Name of the configure option its self. [allow-none]
Returns : | `TRUE` if succeed; `FALSE` otherwise.

### ibus_config_watch ()

    gboolean            ibus_config_watch                   (IBusConfig *config,
                                                             const gchar *section,
                                                             const gchar *name);

Subscribe to the configuration option change notification.

Until this function is called, every change will be notified to the client through "value-changed" signal. Clients should call `ibus_config_watch()` with the sections they are interested in, to reduce the number of D-Bus messages.

See also: `ibus_config_unwatch()`.

`config` : | An IBusConfig
`section` : | Section name of the configuration option. [allow-none]
`name` : | Name of the configure option its self. [allow-none]
Returns : | `TRUE` if succeed; `FALSE` otherwise.
